America is the country where no matter your background, you are considered an equal. People come here because in America, their efforts bear fruit. People come here to seek equality. People come here to escape poverty and persecution. People come here to ensure a higher standard of living for themselves and their posterity.

@Paulmarti let mme also make it clear that is was not our fault, it is a conspiracOur monetary system was ruined. If we followed the constitution, we would hav avoided alkinds of disastersHousing market collapse is one of the many bubbles and college loans at 900Billion dolalrs will be the next one Without monetary system, you lose busniess confidence, thats why real unemplloyment is at 22%. There is no middle class, inflation is destroying stand of living. Im not trolling, juslet you kno

@Paulmarti its a shame this country is inevitable from collapse. This was not from our free market, or the fault of democracy. This country cannot pay medicare medicaid and Social Security on its own if it cut all goverment spending to 0. The dollor is not money, not backed by gold. Real inflation at double digits and you realize the price of living is going wayyy upp. If that happens and busniess wages do not go up, standard of living goes down.. Has gone down 50% since 1970. only getting worse

@didjo3 We whites today didn't steal an acre from the Native Americans, nor do the Native Americans today deserve any more land than what they already have. Our ancestors stole the land, yes, but not us.

@joeshone2011 They come into the country legally, unlike our some of our southern neighbors. Don't think of yourself as an immigrant, think of yourself as an American! Hell, everyone in America is an immigrant from somewhere. Irish, German, Spanish, etc. The only thing is you have to suck up with the jealous taunting and namecalling that comes with being in such a blessed country. Other than that, stay in school, get a good job, (buy a gun, you can do that now :D ) and enjoy your life!
